Hi, I’m Minister Shaunna Barbee Tyus. At my core, I am a woman who loves love, loves God, and believes with all my heart that marriage is a sacred, biblical covenant made with and before Him. I believe that great marriages make each other stronger, families stronger and our communities stronger. 

As a published author, poet, and ordained minister and happy wife to James, my life’s work is about translation, not just of language, but of the human heart. With a background in journalism and writing, my unique gift is listening. I don't just ask when you met, I dive beneath the surface to extract the tiny, golden threads of your journey and weave them into an unforgettable, bespoke love story for your ceremony. 

I am a linguaphile, fluent in Spanish, and can intergrate almost any language and cultural practice into your ceremony. I am also deeply multicultural and I specialize in creating seamless, culturally sensitive experiences where every member of your family feels seen, respected, and included. 

Whether you are planning an intimate covenant ceremony down the street or a destination wedding across the globe, I am ready to travel to help you step beautifully into your new beginning. As someone who planned and executed a beautiful, budget-friendly wedding, I want my couples to enjoy a premium experience you can afford. 

Con Amor, With Love, 

Shaunna
